The Goodyear UltraGrip Ice Cargo is a premium winter tyre designed for light commercial vehicles and vans, focusing on robust performance and grip in severe winter conditions. This tyre is specifically engineered for commercial vans and light trucks (designated by the 'C' marking), built to handle high load capacities and heavy weights. Severe Winter Performance: It is a dedicated winter tyre, certified with the Three-Peak Mountain Snowflake (3PMSF) symbol, indicating proven performance in severe snow conditions. It is available as a studless friction tire. Tread Design: The directional tread pattern features dense siping (small cuts) and 'block activating grooves' to create numerous biting edges, which significantly enhance traction and braking on snow and ice. Hydroplaning Resistance: Wide circumferential and directional grooves effectively channel water and slush away from the tyre's footprint, reducing the risk of hydroplaning on wet or thawing roads. Durable Construction: The tyre has a robust, all-steel carcass based on UniSteel technology, which increases its load-carrying capability and overall durability for commercial use. It often includes an additional rim protector feature to guard against curb damage. Rubber Compound: It utilises a special winter rubber compound that remains flexible at low temperatures, ensuring consistent grip and shorter braking distances in freezing conditions.
